I'd like to thank Mr. Beat for being in my video. Thanks.
Haha nice.
How is there only one reply, I love ur content mr Terry, also love the joke. I think you added pretty good points about a lot do the presidents, and I was wondering what Matt would say about Johnson as well
You look like a Mr Terry, fits like a 🥊
keep up the good work Mr. Terr it up
@@RawnervzzHe really does
William Henry Harrison doesn't get enough credit. ONLY US President in history to get through his entire term without a scandal. Respect.
He died for this country
Willie boy was clean as a whistle. Legend.
Most presidents would take a bullet to have that on their résumé
Weren't there many presidents that didn't have a single scandal?
Forty-one days, but 41 good days.
I’d argue that WHH’s greatest accomplishment was dying because it played a part in defining the role of the VP.
Great point.
No other president can claim death as an accomplishment. Pure badass
I'd actually give that accomplishment to his sucessor, John Tyler.
The Vice Presidency still got stigmatized as a "useless" office long afterwards. Like in 1900, when Thomas C. Platt insisted on nominating Teddy Roosevelt just "to get rid of him" as Governor of New York. Apparently thinking that the four Presidential deaths up til then (Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, and Garfield) were just flukes, and it would NEVER happen again.
I think John Adams greatest achievement as President was leaving office. That’s not a backhanded compliment. Washington left on his terms. Adams was the first president to lose reelection and set the precedent that when you lose, you admit it and hand over power. Which is maybe one of the most underrated and taken for granted features of representative government.
Good point!
Surely
*Looks at recent events awkwardly*
@@Nebulasecura 😂
While that is indeed true, especially after all the negative falsehoods thrown at him...avoiding war with France/Britain is for sure the biggest accomplishment. Had we been thrown into that, the consequences would have been severe.
I don't think many people truly understand how important it was that while not "politically" beneficial, Adams ensured neutrality.
I love how you can see the joy absolutely drain from your face at 28:16 when Mr. Beat gets to Woodrow Wilson
In Mr. Beat’s defense, I’m pretty sure he also felt terrible having to include Woodrow Wilson.
Just has to stay silent of any good being said about Wilson
Wonder if how he’d react to hearing about all the genocide victims Wilson’s charity drives and support saved?
I am right-leaning, and I’ve been following Mr. Beat for over half a decade. I do not agree with much of what he says, but I respect the fact that he puts a ton of effort into researching for his videos and frequently stepping out of his comfort zone. I also respect your maturity in working with a content creator you don’t align with politically and setting aside your biases to recognize a person you see as worth listening to. I see you two as great inspirations in the historical atmosphere, and I hope you two continue to do what you guys do best.
On the contrary, I am a left-leaning and progressive transgender immigrant who watches this channel despite political disagreements, because the community here preaches and acts upon the value of dialectic and discourse. It is always incredible to be a part of a community that works together to learn from history and from each other. Cheers to you all, it's always a pleasure to watch and discuss :>
I am left leaning too but has never followed a channel this long. VTH is truly a gem among history youtubers.
I only found this channel a month or so ago but I really like it. I am Left-leaning and there are times I disagree with Chris but I find it easier to let those disagreements go because he is open minded and does listen to others of differing points of view. We all think of things a bit different but we can make great things happen if we are able to work together with mutual respect.
Another left-aligned person just here to say I agree and enjoy being apart of the VTH community!
Same here. With the exception of the electoral college though I agree with Mr Beat on pretty much everything
Poor Chris! The conflict on your face when they talk about Wilson's "14 Points" is awesome! I feel the same way when there's a person I truly dislike, and people talk about something they've done where I can't really dislike that specific thing. It's like, "Okay, fine, sure, THAT was okay in and of itself. But even that was done with ulterior motives! And look at all these other horrible things!!!" I feel ya', man! 😆
What ulterior motives?
@@NarynbekGilman his desire to be seen as messiah for peace.
@@moviefan005 And what's wrong about that?
@@NarynbekGilman because he was too proud and thought he knew better than anyone else. There is a reason why France and Britian found it real hard working with him when dealing Aftermath of WWI. He was so insufferable to work with.
"Heartbreaking: The Worst President you know just made 14 Great Points."
I’d like to point out that Jimmy Carter had some amazing accomplishments before he became President too, back in 1952 he led a 22 man team into Canada to save a Nuclear Reactor after it had a meltdown.
Edit: Sad news, Jimmy Carter started receiving in home hospice care today.
Yep! His account of that event is quite fascinating. Given how much radiation he absorbed, it makes his continued survival, let alone his activity level, all the more amazing.
@@cervanntes Yea I read one article about it where he said he had radioactive urine for about 6 months after the clean up, thats just wild lmao
@@cervanntes bro got nerfed without the radiation he would live to 500 years old
you really got me into history man, understand more from your videos then a whole year of AP US history
Omg. Mr Terry, beat AND vlogging through history all in one video!
All we need is a video of them 3 together.
Now this, is the biggest crossover in cinematic history.
@@BigAl2-u7e endgame who?
@@memecliparchives2254 All in favor of a Mr Beat, VTH, Mr Terry crossover, say "I"
@@ChristianSirianni I
How refreshingly no F word and a calm manner after that lunatic on Abraham Lincoln the other day
I agree. Its nice to see someone who can speak without constantly swearing. Not that he made any sense anyway.
As a fellow German woman, now I know why there's the "Madison" square garden and a "Polk" County sheriff department. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Germany 😊
Time to soothe our aching brain cells from the Lincoln videos.
Every time I see TR, I imagine him not wearing his regular glasses, but with sunglasses, saying like "I'm the tough man"
After the past two videos (of no fault of your own) this was more than welcomed. Hope you enjoy your day!
Yeah I agree. Those videos were borderline unwatchable without his commentary lmao.
I'm a Brit and even I agree with you guy's. In fact I only made it to about 15 mins in either video.
Yeah it's a big sigh of relief. Those two videos were exhausting to get through. Ah back to normal videos!
@@Gotterdammerung_ I think the opposite is true. I disagree with the man’s opinions and outlook, but his rhetoric and style was definitely entertaining.
I'm a simple man, I see a VTH video featuring Mr Beat and I watch and upvote intently.
Also I think you made a great point here about bias. I think its so hard to avoid bias for or against presidents that served during one's lifetime.
I also think its hard to see the real results of the actions of a president. Like you said earlier when talking about Fillmore's opening of relations with Japan, the negative aspects of that weren't seen for so long after that. These things are so complex that it really takes a long time to see what is actually resulting.
Let me guess, you use Reddit?
I am not a fan of G. W. Bush, but his moment at ground zero is one of my favorite presidential moments in history. I was a toddler when 9/11 happened and am thus fortunate to have no memory of it, but I wish I could have memory of seeing that one bit on the tv for the first time.
I remember
I was 19. That moment was incredible to witness for a grief-stricken nation.
Hi, Chris, after the last two days it was great to hear reasoned discussion again. I really enjoyed this.
I appreciate that Chris has decided to watch the latest presidents. This did not happen in the past as he, for one reason or another, decided to end his History programme just before the 2000s. I would appreciate to watch more contents about the post 2000s but without losing a more mature, professional and calm historian mindset that Chris has. I look forward for more improvements on this channel.
Well it is logical. If he gevis the imprission that he supports Trump or Biden. He would get hate for it
@@geenkaas6380 I think it's more that you can't really judge an administration's accomplishments without letting time pass. It's easy to talk about all of the things a President seems to have done while it's still fresh, but it takes a while to see how well their policies actually performed. It also gives people the space for their emotional stake in that president to calm down so they can be judged more fairly.
People forget the 2000s are going further and further away. It’s been more than 20 years since it started
I actually think both GeenKaas and the AngryXenite are correct. I don’t think he is looking for major controversy in todays cancel culture but I also think it takes time to see what effects todays decisions have on future policy and such.
Mr Beat is currently premiering the sequel to this video:
"Every president's Worst Mistake"
It is hard to describe how delightful and entertaining the videos of this Channel are!
Thank you and very nice video!
I live in Georgia met Jimmy Carter a few times. He's the most genuine and friendly human being.
I'm not at all surprised to hear that. Seems like a really good guy.
Man... Mr. William H. Harrison definitely deserved to have more time in office. 1 month is not even enough time. RIP old man.
Definitely want to add the National Parks to Teddy Roosevelt's incredible accomplishments, but yeah, that list could go on for a couple of days.
It was Grant who started the National Parks, Teddy expanded on it.
@@marquisdelafayette1929 I always get that confused, thanks!
Teddy=Being a badass
Can’t argue with this.
Thedore Roosevelts life stories sound like chuck Norris jokes half the time.
I'd argue that the US opening relations with Japan was likely one of the better case scenarios for them. That sort of isolationism was never going to last, and someone was going to force an opening at some point. While there were some unequal treaties imposed on Japan, the country was never colonized like african/middle eastern/south Asian nations or forced to surrender territory like China. I don't think that was what directly caused the later conflicts between them and the European powers, most of the issues there came up during or after WWI.
I wouldn't credit the US with that. The Japanese reacted to forced opening and unequal treaties with supersonic modernization because they'd seen what what happening to China and didn't want to end up the same way.
@@samrevlej9331 especially with european countries such as Russia, Britain and France bullying them when it came to establishing spheres of influence over china. Russia in particular was pushing Japan around a lot in the 19th and 20th century and eventually got the horns for it.
Living in Tucson, I too appreciate the Gadsden Purchase.
This is a fantastic breath of fresh air after the last two days of the guy ranting about Lincoln.
Like Carter, I’d also argue that John Quincy Adams had one of the best post presidents, speaking out against slavery, an example being the Amistad Case.
Surely he is one of the greatest American and his father too, if not the greatest president
I like this video. Shows you can always find the positive in people and historical figures you disagree with
History is a lot more nuianced than people like to present it as. Lincoln and Washington had their faults. Wilson and Johnson had their ups but using our modern lenses and because most people dont have the time or interest to delve deep into their life, we also have to dumb it down and make things more black and white when a lot of people in history are gray
Honestly, I’d say Herbert Hoover had a similar amazing post-presidency like Jimmy Carter
How so? He chaired the Hoover Commission, but most of his post Presidency was about condemning the new deal and trying to redeem his legacy.
They both had very long post-presidencies as well. Hoover’s post-presidency lasted for over 31 years and Carter’s ongoing post-presidency has lasted for 42 years. Overall Carter was both a better president and better ex-president than Hoover.
@@epicurius1 You should look up his actions being the head of the U.S food administration, both in ww1 and ww2, he’s known as ‘The Great Humanitarian’
@MCAWESOME 19 his actions in WWI and the Russian Revolution were before he became President, not after. Hoover was an isolationist in WWII, and was largely ineffective providing food in WWII . He was coordinator for Food Supply for World Famine the year after WWII, though.
Just like John Quincy Adams.
This was great and very informative. To hear someone who's extremely knowledgeable on American history do a rundown of every president and then hear all the takes from someone else who is also extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter made for an outstanding video.
I'd love to see a collaboration between VTH, Mr. Beat and Mr. Terry since they all taught me better than multiple years of AP History classes
Wow, your explanation of the "Spoils of War" era totally gives brand new context to the assassination of Garfield. For the longest time I was always so bewildered by Guiteaus entitlement. I just couldn't fathom that level of delusion. Not excusing the entitlement or anything but this just makes it way more clear. Thanks!
Hey Vlogging, I came across your channel recently and I must say that I’m enjoying your videos on Mr. Beat so far. And regarding what you said about your first impression of Mr. Beat, yeah I agree with you in the sense that when I first watched you I may of had some thoughts about what kind fo person you were politics-wise, but ultimately after I continued to watch your videos, including this one, I have come to enjoy your content and push away those quick thoughts about you, as ultimately you’re a nice guy and a good history teacher, who I enjoy alongside Mr. Beat and Mr. Terry. I hope to see more of your videos soon! 👍❤️
When he is mentioning Woodrow Wilson, the look on your face says it all.
I actually been looking forward to this! As a big fan of Mr. Terry and Mr. Beat this is the holy trinity for me
You're holding back so much during the Woodrow Wilson bit. 🤣🤣
"Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business." - Calvin Coolidge.
My best friend throughout undergrad college lives in Tyler, Texas now. Thanks Chris for the debacle I only just made it halfway through processing. You sir, are a measured and even-keeled but passionate and stalwart leader of this channel and I think we could all learn something from how you carried yourself in the last reaction.
This is definitely a palate cleanser as far as even and thoughtful and constructive historical commentary goes. And it was badly needed.
The ending comment is so perfect, thank you for making me feel sane haha. In a world where everyone thinks their opinions deserve respect, no matter how uniformed those opinions may be, the truth is that there needs to be good principles and reason to back them up. That's the difference between cooperative debate and pointless arguments.
34:03 That part! I appreciate the moon comment because it is a big inspiration for many to go into STEM. I’m studying physics and math (while in the Air Force ROTC) and hope to become an astronaut one day.
Awesome. My son may be the one who helps you get into space. He wants to go into Aeronautical engineering.
Grant also established Yellowstone National park on March 1st of 1872, aiding in preserving the environment, and the beauty of nature. The United States would go on to establish 422 national parks over the next 151 years. Underrated president, top 20 for me (taking my bias into consideration, top 10).
I would have liked a mention on how the Marshall plan also benefitted American businesses and helped with changing the economy from war focused to more of a consumer based one.
I'd also argue that the Soviets charging through the Fulda Gap and conquering most of a devestated Western Europe would not have benefited American interests either.
Such a honour to see mr terry as well, keep it up the good work!
Would you ever consider doing a video of maybe the top 10 things you changed your mind about?
That’s a great idea.
I love Matt and Shannon. Two of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.
Absolutely. Proud to call them friends.
Glad we’re back to doing history videos Chris!!
You survived the Lincoln rant. Congrats. Mad respect.
My 2 History teachers and my civics teacher, what a treat.
Oh come on we all know the greatest achievement of Martin Van Buren was the establishment of the Van Buren Boys in 1997.
That shirt hasn't gone unnoticed! 👏👏
There wasn’t much of a selection on Amazon but I wanted something to wear to the game (although I expect I’ll do some shopping at Craven Cottage)
William Henry Harrison's biggest accomplishment is helping to establish a line of succession.
Thank you for being a breath of FRESH AIR! So suffocating when people push their conservative/liberal opinions on videos like these.
Your face when Wilson showed your face was priceless
Yours & Mr. Beat's 4hr livestream is one of my favorite things on youtube
VTH , Mr.Beat and Mr.Terry. can't complain about this 👌 👍
Sam Nixon, big fan. Especially on your popular Indian history videos.
Jokes aside your channel is my favorite for background noise while at work.
I can very happily say I disagree with about half of your takes and often find myself rolling my eyes at some of the points you take. But I’ve never once felt lied to. You look at the same information, you form your opinion and the one i form happens to be different. No logical fallacies or personal attacks for people who disagree. It’s very nice. Especially after remembering what a dumpster fire this site truly is after being reminded after your last two videos.
26:58 It was also in Edmund Morris' The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, which I read back in 2006. I also recall their being this French noble who was trying to corner the beef market and then use the money to fund a Monarchist coup in France. There is so much from TR's time in North Dakota
Link?!
Just these stories make me proud to be a citizen of this country!
Hey Chris, love this video. Please make a video collaboration with Mr.Beat and Mr.Terry?.
The three of them ranking US presidents would be great
Finally two normal people to react to...
🤣🤣🤣
Three of my favorite people who talk about history in one video beat
Love these channels both yours and mr beat and mr terry
Great getting to watch the three history Dad's of RUclips.
The SILENCE when Wilson was brought up. 😅
Wow all my favourite history RUclipsrs in one spot
Sweet mr terry. You should try to have a discussion with him as well.
Also that Gadsden purchase skit on Jimmy Fallon was hilarious
While I am not one to argue against Jimmy Carter, I would make a case for Hoover's post presidency career being so much more impactful helping Truman with the Marshall Plan. Truman knew the one thing Hoover had done well during his time in office was feeding post war Europe, and that is what Truman was dealing with. Hoover was a big help. So, there is that.
There is no evidence of Taft being stuck in the bathtub, BECAUSE HE ATE THE EVIDENCE 😄
It would be awesome if you make a collab video with Mr. Terry
3 of my favorite history RUclipsrs in one video!
06:12: Those "paradoxes" are just the logical result of people prioritizing the well being of their people over their own personal interests.
Chris React To Mr Beat Presidents Biggest Mistakes
While watching your reaction to Jimmy Carter, I agree with your statement that his greatest accomplishments occurred after he was President. Some other notable post Presidential accomplishments include John Quincy Adams, who continued serving in the U.S. House (Old Man Eloquent) and Ohio's own William H. Taft who served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
I loved a bumper sticker that said "We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because we thought were easy.
As an Australian, that has never been to the US, I have no idea why im so invested in US Presidental history. 🤔
I was actually hoping you would do more Mr.Beat content and I like the fact you did one of his videos of the presidents 👍
In Alaska, we are taught that the Purchase is more of a William Seward accomplishment than Johnson
Mr. Beat is awesome!
been waiting for a Mr. Terry Collab for far too long
17:35 I would love to see your take on what would have happened to Japan if they were left alone by the USA, maybe in your own alternate history video. I imagine that either Great Britain or Russia would eventually try to get ports on the island leading to a situation where the Japanese are treated to the normal process of imperialism that they mostly avoided.
I'm pretty sure Russia would go first, since I think they declared war on Japan close to the end of WW2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
They had already fought a war with Japan prior to both world wars which effectively caused economic downspiral and political dissidence in Russia. But if Japan had never begun it's imperialism in Manchuria, Russia may have moved in without much opposition so it's not completely unfathomable to think Russia would've eventually tried to conquer Japan. Someone who knows eastern history better than me might have an opinion on how likely of a scenario that is.
That also begs the question of whether the October Revolution would've ever happened if not for Japanese imperialism after the Meiji Restoration. Tsar Nicolas II could've seized territory in Manchuria that could've bolstered the Russian economy and then he wouldn't have had to change the status quo much to make average Russian lives better. Whether he would've or not is a whole other issue though.
I was talking about the US forcing their markets open, not fighting in the WWs.
I waitid patiently for Woodrow Wilson to come up, expecting a comment or two. But all I got was a shrug and a nod. I feel cheated. I feel let down. :)
Sorry. I felt like I’ve already said all I needed to
Taft stayed at the Mission Inn hotel in Riverside, California, and had to have a special oversized tub installed for him, which is still there to this day.
Sounds like you'll have to be next to make a video with Mr. Beast. Totally wasn't expecting Mr. Terry to show up haha.
Good video from Mr. Beat and good commentary on your part. I think that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were Johnson's greatest accomplishments at least in part because his leadership and savvy got them passed by Congress, but I live in Mississippi where voter suppression is still a thing and where a lot of people have vivid memories of being asked how many bubbles are in a bar of soap in order to register to vote. We sometimes forget how young a lot of those civil rights activists were then and so forget that they are still with us. All in all good stuff.
Yess. So glad you’re reacting to this
props for very clearly biting your tongue when Wilson came up :) And indeed, I'm all for burning Wilson at the stake but the point about Versailles is sort of legit...
You are correct about recency bias. 20 years would probably be a good standard.
16:36 - Holy cow. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
EDIT: 20:56 - Again.
33:09 I will forever say this was a TERRIBLE thing that Eisenhower has done and will forever be bad, we almost lost our entire railroad network because of this AND the undertaxed airline industry that HIS government propped up while not doing anything to loosen the ICC's regulatory grip or providing aid to a network that was completely worn out from carrying nearly 100% of America's freight, including *military equipment and personnel like the entire US Army* during the second world war and had almost no way to recover.
A big accomplishment, sure, but not an overall positive one in my personal opinion.
36:59 (frame) And only two of those were good, the Staggers Rail Act, and the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act. Airline and automotive deregulations were BIG mistakes that are still infecting their respective industries negatively to this day.
Taylor was from VA not KY. Lincoln is the only POTUS from KY.
2:54-3:02 “It’s React-ception.”Hahahaha! That’s just too funny.
James Madison setting the ball in motion to bring an end to the 300 year reign of the Barbary pirates was certainly a great accomplishment
the kriteria was every presidents Biggest Accomplishment that affected the greatest amount of pepeol in a great way wile in office
This means now there is a direct youtuber link between VTH, Mr. Terry, Mr. Beat and Drew Durnil. I want a video with all 4 now
As much as I despise him, I'd argue Donald Trump's biggest accomplishment was making animal cruelty a federal crime.
I'm a lefty and I agree with the first step act being Trumps biggest accomplishment
Yet now he wants some reporter/s thrown in jail for life. It was interesting to hear about the first step act. I’m Canadian so didn’t follow the politics down there too much but it’s pretty appalling to see how much of a shit show trump is causing. I hope Dominion slams him with a 5 billion dollar lawsuit. After what’s been revealed by the Jan 6th Committee, they surely have enough to successfully pull it off.
Thank you so much for reacting to current presidents
